      We can’t really know what the non-eligible voting population believes, but in the 2024 General Election, ~34% voted Republican, ~32% voted Democrat, ~1% voted 3rd party, and ~33% didn’t vote.

      It’s more like at least a third of the country loves this, probably a little more although I have to imagine that some Republicans have soured on Trump, and that not all Republicans share the cult of personality idolization.

      Much less than half, but they are a very noisy and emboldened group.

      If you can get the apathetic and politically uninvolved to start caring, you can easily outnumber the MAGAts.

        Good luck. They think by not caring, the country will fix itself and then justify not caring because everything’s falling apart. Makes no sense.

      This cant be overstated enough. 70 million people absolutely love what’s happening.

          It killed lots of them, but it had weakened by the time it spread to the rural states so it didn’t kill as quickly as the first wave in the big cities.

            I’m still impressed that bird flu hasn’t made the jump to humans yet, that would be an extremely aggressive disease that would kill a lot of people, as most diseases that jump from animals to humans. Republicans have been lucky that their cuts to any and all disease controls haven’t resulted in it spreading freely
